GeForce RTX 2070 vs GeForce RTX 2070 Super

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, which uses a 12 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1605 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this card. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2070		175 Watts
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
	Difference: 40 Watts (23%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have the exact same bandwidth, so in theory they should have identical performance. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super will be a lot (more or less 26%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2070. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070		203040 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 53760 (26%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super is a small bit (about 14%) more effective at AA than the GeForce RTX 2070, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070		90240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 12480 (14%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
